tep-by-step explanation

The p-value is not 9 because 9.137E-05 can be written as 0.00009. The results are explained below:

1.) The hypothesis is formulated as;

H0 : The new process takes less time than the old process.

H1 : The new process takes less time than the old process.

Note that the decision rule to reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is less than α=0.05

2.) To test whether the new oil change process take less or more time, compare the mean time for the new
process and for the old process.
From the output above,
Mean ( New process ) = 14.2
Mean ( Old process ) = 30.15

The p-value is less than α=0.05 and therefore reject the null hypothesis. It can therefore be conclude that the
new oil change process take less time.

3.) One tailed test was conducted. This is because john is not only trying to determine if there is difference but
also the direction of the difference (that is if the new process takes less time than the old process)

4) From the output the one-tailed p-value is 0.0000937197≈0.000

5) I think that the results are statistically significant because:


6) The p-value is close to 0. P-value being 0 means that there is 0% chance of the null hypothesis being true
and therefore the results "prove" that the results are statistically significant.

Here, he verifies the mean current process whether takes more


time than the new process

Hence,

a) Null Hypothesis: the mean time taken by the current


process is less than or equal to mean time taken by the new
process.

Alternative Hypothesis: the mean time taken by the current


process greater than mean time taken by the new process

b) Here, we use right tailed t test. It is given that the test


statistic = 4.520032842 which is greater than the critical
value. Hence, we reject Null Hypothesis. Hence, we observe
that new process takes less time.

c) Here, as in Alternative Hypothesis we have greater than


inequality, we perform one (right) tailed t test

d) The p value is P(X>4.520032842)=0.00009=0.000 (Round to


3 decimals)
e) Since p value is less than the critical value 0.05, p is
significant

f) With 0.05 level of significance, we can warrant that the


mean time taken by the current process greater than mean
time taken by the new process
